The Three Railway Engines - Sir John Gielgud

To celebrate the 100th Birthday of the Reverend W. Awdry, SiF have put together a special video featuring some rare narrative from the 1980s.

Here is Sir John Gielgud's narrative of The Sad Story Of Henry / Edward, Gordon & Henry from the Noel Edmonds Show on Radio 1 (1980s), mixed in with music by Kevin McLeod and minor SFX to add atmosphere to the recordings.

I think the name of this narrator is John Gielgud. If you're sure the name's correct, then sorry.

[SiForumsAndFansite]

@23456789Alexis Actually, you're right, and I've changed it in the titles for the description, however, I am unable to for the actual video.
